as well as anywhere else you chose! Being silent accepting sheep and not discussing hot topics is NOT how we change the world!

I was really surprised, having done about 82 gazillion interviews with all kinds of people over the last 30 years, how easy and comfortable he was to talk to. This is one of my faves that I've ever done.

One of the things he had to say is that he and Jack got to talking recently and realized they'd been playing for 53 years, and how many people are there that have not only spent their lives on one job, but one job they loved?

Thanks for sharing your ear to ear grin with us Marye....I was fortunate to have shared a few words with Mr. K. after a show at the beautiful Mt. Baker Theatre(where I work as an usher)up here in Bellingham,WA. He was on a tour featuring the 'Blues Guitar' with Robben Ford and Ruthie Foster. They each played solo sets and then traded licks in various combinations. I waited till the crowd got done with him after the show in the hope of asking how best to obtain a copy of 'Electric Hot Tuna....Live at the New Orleans'....Jorma was very kind and such an 'easy talker'....

P.S. It was so good to see and hear him playing with Jack Cassady at 'Furthur Fest' in May....
